Here are some veggies and fruits that you should eat plenty of for their many benefits, including cancer-fighting properties.

Garlic

Garlic stops cancer-causing substances from forming, speeds up DNA repair and kills cancer cells. It also has antibacteria property and reduces the risk of colon caner.
